Rally Light Covers

The black covers for my rally lights are looking a bit ratty. I see that I can buy replacement black replacement covers, but I'm looking to replace them with something other than black. Does anyone know where I can purchase other styles of covers?

Can't the covers be renewed by Painting?

I suppose they could, but they need to be sanded down quite a bit. It appears that the Arizona sun has been eating at them as they are quite pitted.

I was looking for ones that may be painted/detailed with the Union Jack.

The hard Mini covers would be my choice. Probably last longer and do a good job of protecting those expensive lenses.

Another +1 on painting for a more customized look. If you just want to buy a new set, the hard covers from ecstuning look good.
